The Year
of Faith
Sixth Sunday
of Easter
May 5, 2013
The Easter Season is more than halfway celebrated. Bishop Vann was here at
St. Pius to confirm many of our young people with the gifts of the Holy Spirit
and we pray that their sponsors and parents will continue to help them grow
in the practice of the faith that gives us life. Some of our young people have
made their First Holy Communion in this season and many more will be
coming to the Table of the Lord in the
next two weekends. This is truly a holy
season. ”The Advocate, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name, will
teach you everything and remind you of all
that I told you.”

Do you know someone who has been inactive
in their faith for a while but is interested
in taking another look at life with the Church?
We are hosting a series of gatherings on Fridays
in the Easter Season to hear their stories,
answer their questions and encourage them
to join us in prayer and service again.
Why don’t you invite that neighbor or family member
to come with you to our next meeting on Friday, May 10,

Come pray with us!
Many of our parishes are currently involved in the Capital
Campaign for these important efforts. St. Pius V will be
conducting that Campaign in the fall of 2013 with other
parishes as well.
As Father Ted announced last November, when we
conduct the Campaign we will raise funds for the diocesan
efforts and receive a portion for our own projects. We
plan to use our portion of the funds to refurbish the
statues of our Saints, to reupholster the chairs in the
Chapel and, if funds are sufficient, to install solar
panels to help lower our electrical costs.
Please take a tour of our future Christ Cathedral soon and
pray about your gift to this effort.
Grief, Loss & Healing
St. Pius V Bereavement Support Ministry
Next meeting is Monday, May 6th at 7:30 pm.
When someone we love dies, we are sent on a lonely and even
painful journey. Our grief is unique...and it can be a most
agonizing experience.
We invite and warmly welcome any of you who are suffering
due to a previous or recent loss of a love one. Our ministry may
help you cope and work through your grief. We offer you
emotional support, comfort, and discussions on how to deal with
loss, sorrow and transitions. We will listen, share and pray with
you. We join with others to tell the story of the person and to
celebrate their life.
This is a constant and continuing program and is open to
everyone. There are no charges or fees but donations are
welcome.
We meet every 1st and 3rd Monday of each month (except
holidays and holy days of obligation) at 7:30 pm, upstairs in room
“C”.
For information, contact: John Alba at 714-522-2193
Please come and join us, because we care.
“Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted.”

Our Wednesday Holy Hour is this Wednesday, May 8th,
beginning at 7:30 pm in the chapel.
The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for adoration for an hour
including an extended period of silence (a half hour or so) for silent
prayer and meditation. The Hour will end with Evening Prayer and
Benediction. During the silent prayer time, you might consider doing
some spiritual reading, journaling, praying the rosary or some other
form of silent and personal prayer, having a quiet conversation with the
Lord, or just simply basking in the presence of the Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament and in one another. Please come prepared to spend this time
fruitfully (with any reading or writing materials you might need).

YEAR OF FAITH: MAY 2013
This Time of Grace Entrusted to Mary: Blessed Because She Believed
Meditation
Knowing the content of the faith is not enough. The heart, that authentic sacred space at the core of every
person, must be opened by grace that we may see below the surface and understand (see Benedict XVI, Door
of Faith, 10).
During May, in this Year of Faith, Easter Time culminates in Christ’s ascension and the Holy Spirit’s
coming at Pentecost. Trinity Sunday helps us make the transition back into Ordinary Time, that long stretch of
“green” Sundays and weekdays when we celebrate the Father’s providential care, the Son’s redeeming love,
the Holy Spirit’s abiding guidance. But May, the lovely month of nature’s motherhood, is always dedicated to
our Blessed Mother Mary. With Mary, the apostles and first disciples kept prayerful vigil for the Spirit’s
coming, the culmination of Mary’s faith-filled lifetime. In Door of Faith, Pope Benedict celebrates Mary’s
faith, shown forth in her acceptance of the angel’s word at the Annunciation, her charity in the Visitation to
Elizabeth, her trust in Joseph during the flight into Egypt, her steadfast vigil beneath her Son’s cross.
Throughout these joyful and sorrowful mysteries of her life, Mary’s faith-filled heart embraced God’s will,
making her an instrument for the accomplishment of God’s plan for our salvation, and a living model for us of
trust and perseverance. For Mary’s undaunted faith and the selfless love it inspired, all generations shall call
her blessed.
Mission
Imitate Mary’s trusting faith in God and selfless charity toward others; honor Mary’s faith by reciting the
Angelus; seek Mary’s intercession by praying the Rosary.

El Llamado para las Misiones Católicas
Gracias por su generoso apoyo para ayudar a fortalecer la
Iglesia en casa. Su donativo al Llamado para las
Misiones Católicas servirá para asegurar que el Evangelio
se difunda en todo lugar en los Estados Unidos. Para
informarse más sobre la financiación a diócesis misioneras

ÚNICAMENTE TÚ
Todo bautizado tiene su vocación de discípulo de Jesús. El
Señor nos conoce individual e íntimamente, y para cada uno
de nosotros tiene un propósito. Toda vida y toda vocación
son únicas, y se viven mejor dentro de la comunidad de fe,
donde podemos ayudarnos mutuamente a escuchar la voz
del Señor y responderle. El bautismo es el por qué de ser
cristiano y la corresponsabilidad cristiana es el cómo. La
corresponsabilidad es una manera de discernir, aceptar y
vivir gozosa y generosamente los compromisos,
responsabilidades y funciones que Dios nos pide. Aquí en
nuestra parroquia se pone por obra la misión única de
Cristo: hacer la voluntad de Dios, proclamar la Buena
Nueva de la salvación, consolar al afligido, cuidar los unos
de los otros y vivir al estilo de Jesús. Él nos asegura en el
Evangelio de hoy que tenemos ayuda. El Espíritu Santo
llena los corazones de todos los que aman al Señor y siguen
su camino. Jesús no nos dice que lo sigamos en un futuro o
cuando nos parezca. El momento es ahora.

LA OBRA DEL ESPÍRITU
Cualquiera que haya visto partir a un ser amado hacia
una nueva aventura sabe que es difícil alegrarse, aun
cuando nos sintamos razonablemente optimistas sobre su
futuro. De modo que podemos imaginar lo difícil que
debió ser para los
discípulos
alegrarse
cuando Jesús les anunció
su partida. El Evangelio
de hoy es parte del
discurso
durante
la
Última Cena y sólo Juan
lo relata. Jesús hace un
anuncio
perturbador.
Debe ir al Padre y ellos
deben alegrarse. Para
ayudarlos, Jesús les da su
paz y les promete un
Abogado o Paráclito.
Desde
nuestra
privilegiada posición en la historia, podemos ver que todo
lo que Jesús promete, pasa. La Iglesia ha crecido y aún
existe en este mundo gracias a la presencia del Espíritu.
Pero vivir por el Espíritu y entrar en la paz de Cristo no es
tarea fácil. Jesús no les promete a sus apóstoles un jardín
de rosas. Él es realista sobre el costo de ser un discípulo.
Y, misericordiosamente, también describe con gran
claridad sus premios.

AÑO DE LA FE: MAYO DE 2013
Este tiempo de gracia confiado a María: bendecida porque creyó
Meditación
El conocimiento del contenido de la fe no es suficiente. El corazón, auténtico sagrario de la persona, debe
abrirse por la gracia que permite tener ojos para mirar en profundidad y comprender (ver Benedicto XVI, La
puerta de la fe, 10).
Durante mayo, en este Año de la Fe, el tiempo de Pascua culmina en la ascensión de Cristo y la venida del
Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés. El Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad nos ayuda a hacer la transición al Tiempo
Ordinario, ese largo período de domingos y semanas “verdes” cuando celebramos el cuidado providencial del
Padre, el amor redentor del Hijo y el consejo perdurable del Espíritu Santo. Pero mayo, el hermoso mes de la
maternidad de la naturaleza, siempre se dedica a nuestra Santísima Madre María. Con María, los apóstoles y
los primeros discípulos oraban y guardaban vigilia por la venida del Espíritu, la culminación de la vida de fe
de María. En La puerta de la fe, el papa Benedicto celebra la fe de María demostrada en su aceptación de la
palabra del ángel en la Anunciación, su caridad en la Visitación a Isabel, su confianza en José durante la huida
a Egipto y su vigilia constante debajo de la cruz de su Hijo. A lo largo de estos misterios gozosos y dolorosos
de su vida, el corazón lleno de fe de María abrazó la voluntad de Dios, haciéndola un instrumento para la
realización del plan divino para nuestra salvación, y un modelo vivo para nosotros de la confianza y la
perseverancia. A causa de la fe intrépida de María y el amor altruista que la inspiró, todas las generaciones le
felicitarán.
Misión
Imitar la fe confiada de María en Dios y su caridad altruista para otros; honrar la fe de María recitando el
Angelus; y buscar la intercesión de María rezando el Rosario.

.MADRE BENDITA
Aunque era la Madre del Señor, deseaba conocer

deseaba conocer a Dios.
—San Ambrosio
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Tristemente una vez que muchos latinoamericanos
llegan a los Estados Unidos es difícil regresar a sus tierras
de origen, ni siquiera para visitar. Por esta razón, muchos
pueblos latinoamericanos han construido santuarios a sus
vírgenes y santos patrones en tierra estadounidense. De
esta manera buscan estar cerca al suelo que les trajo a luz,
que les nutrió con frutas, verduras, flores, cantos,
costumbres y tradiciones.
En Miami el pueblo cubano ha construido una
ermita dedicada a la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, cuya
capilla del Santísimo fue bendecida en la fiesta de la
Ascensión del Señor. Debajo de su altar principal se
guarda una piedra hecha con tierra de las distintas
provincias de Cuba. Es bello el hecho, porque de esta
manera todo cubano que se acerca al altar del Señor puede
estar cerca de su terruño aunque sea solo por un momento.
Que hay en la tierra que nos llama tanto a nosotros
los latinos. Será que el libro del Génesis tiene razón, Dios
forma toda persona del polvo y el corazón latino anhela la
tierra de la que fue sacado.
